Absolutely reprehensible that the Government is attempting to absolve themselves of any responsibility for the actions of one branch of their responsibility.
What next? Perhaps in stead of large monetary awards Cabinet would prefer personal responsibility with Jail time?
Reduce your liability by POLICING your POLICE FORCE!

Bingo!

exactly. Theyre fixing the wrong problem

I agree. Hold the ill-disciplined government officers accountable. Regardless of what Department they work in. We need to be able to hold Cabinet accountable too. Voting once per 5 years is not good enough.

I agree with Cabinet on this. People should be able to be put in jail for 7 years without charges and police should be able to punch out anyone's teeth they feel like. As we strengthen our ties with China, it is very important that Bahamians get schooled in all aspects of how a police state operates.
A part of that training is already in effect with the vaccination cards that have your photo on it along with a flamingo etc. Show your ID everytime you enter or exit a building.
Pray that if a police punches out your teeth, that they don't grow back (cause then it could happen again).
Communism is a new idea, but we will eventually get used to it. Heck, i see a lot of people driving alone in their cars wearing masks. Those persons are almost fully trained. I couldn't see if they had teeth from a distance.

lol. You need binoculars

This is perhaps the most shocking and frankly mortifying proposal that has ever come out of The Office of The Prime Minister. And I think it's safe to say the political careers of Davis, Pinder, Munroe and Bell will all quickly come to a screeching halt if they recommend government proceed with such unconstitutional nonsense.

Has this PLP government lost sight of the fact that the The Bahamas is a democracy and the Bahamian people elect a goverment to serve the people within the context of the rights and freedoms guaranteed under our Constitution and system of laws? With that most fundamental thought in mind, how can any cabinet sub-committee possibly be formed and have legal standing for the purpose of the government seeking to indemnify any branch of itself from illegal acts committed against the people.

The absurdity of this proposal, whereby government would be indemnifying itself and/or introducing liability caps to protect itself from the harm and damages inflicted by it's very own law enforcement officers on members of the public, is beyond comprehension. This would be an abuse of power of the kind only found in authoritarian police states ruled by brutal dictators.

Just how dumb can Davis, Pinder, Munroe and Bell possibly be? No government duly elected by the people has any legal authority or standing whatsoever to indemnify any portion or branch of itself against the very people it was elected to govern and serve within the full context the Constitution of The Bahamas.

The fact that we now have an attorney-general appointed by Davis, namely Ryan Pinder, who apparently lacks a gifted legal mind and would be prepared to entertain such foolishness by a cabinet sub-committee comprised of only other lawyers with similarly ungifted legal minds, should give us all pause for some very serious thought.

... maybe start by hiring emotionally stable people with a relative degree of intelligence. Giving ignorant, poorly socialized people authority and a gun is a recipe for disaster!

Oh no. looks like they recruited the ministry of education to be in charge of this task.

Ahhh yes!! The hits just keep on coming...Go Brave GO!!

Davis just isn't capable of figuring out that the baseball bat he thinks he's using to beat others opposed to him and his policies is actually beating him all about his own head. There's no great anti-Minnis sentiment for Davis to seek protection behind now. Accordingly, He must be seeing stars each time he hits himself in his head with his own baseball bat. LOL

Upon being received into service an RBPF officer should be made to take out an insurance policy to cover a certain amount of liability should they do s$$t, so as, if they cross the line they can be sued personally, In this way, I can guarantee that officers would think twice before acting out because they know it will cost them and not the government, which is us the citizens, this way everyone wins.

The annual insurance for policeman malpractice would be about 2 times his sakary.

An idiotic idea. The uniform branches are agents of the state. A s a result, the state should be held liable for their actions. They are not independent contractors.

This is simply the wrong method to deal with this problem. Better recruitment, training and management of officers is needed. They are not dealing with the root cause of the problem. This is simply wrong. This reasoning is symptomatic of the governing of this country.

"Idiotic idea", yes. Unless the evil powers that be are actually thinking about privatizing a good portion of the uniform branches like they've already done under the radar in the US.
